Snowpack

Moderate hand sheer on S aspect at 11,200 ft on a temp crust in between storms on 3/15 and 3/14. At 13:30 East aspects on Jack ass flats at 11,400 were stiff with a slight zipper crust. South aspects were a bit softer, but not easy skiing. We witnessed significant settlement over the course of the day as there were settlement cones on our pole marks on the S facing skin track.
